Live and unedited - summer 2015, Museo Ebraico di Bologna. In the Italian minhag, the famous "Kol Nidrey" (which is in aramaic) is replaced by its Hebrew version, Kol Nedarim. This is a free interpretation of the traditional melody from Ferrara.

For
several years now Enrico Fink has been one of the major figures in
the Jewish music and theatre scene in Italy, regularly touring Europe
and the US with different groups and projects – and invited to hold
speeches, seminars and lectures from universities, music schools,
Jewish museums and institutions the world over.

Enrico was
born in Florence, the great-grandson of a Jewish-Russian refugee who
served as cantor in many Italian synagogues. After a variety of
musical experiences in groups ranging from funk-rock to contemporary
music (with pauses to complete a degree in physics) he has devoted
himself to new interpretations of the Jewish cultural tradition,
finding a path between "radical" and traditional, which
uses both music and musical theater as means of expression. He
frequently appears in major venues throughout Europe, and with
Ensemble Lucidarium is going to have his fifth US tour in February
2015, a tour which will include a presentation of his “Shirat
hayam” project in New York, with the participation of Frank London.

(review to Lokshen)… you understand right away that you are
witnessing a profound cultural operation. Lokshen is based on a bold
interconnection of words and music, in which lyrical flux and
elaborate sound architecture unite, creating a sort of ideal artistic
object…

Blow
Up magazine (review to “The Jazz Singer’s Return to Faith”) …Fink is
captivating and convincing… a well designed soundtrack, moving from
jazz to chamber music and creative use of electronics…
